Good Morning

First topic message reminder :

Morning all
One last job to do -now where did I put those bingo tickets????
Granddaughter coming today - lucky for her I have built a new trampoline and scooter!!
Bit of a grey start but supposed to be brighter later

Lovely day here, bright sunshine, lawn decorated with brightly coloured bags waiting for the bin men to arrive.

Hia

Dry this morning.

I have an Energy Adviser coming at 10.30    
Must have been bored when I booked it

Oh well someone to chat to    For half an hour
Optim??? Energy

Oh well let you know what it is/ was about

Why do I do these things    

Hia

Just cancelled the man as it may have cost me money

Pay out for new radiators  to save me money but I would have to pay for them
So not saving me money

Even I could work that one out

Oh well another cup of coffee

Good morning Homers
Sun is cracking the flags here. Bit of paperwork to finish off then may go do some gardening. 
Polly would appear your energy saving man is a ' jobsworth'.  There is always a catch.

Hia

Been out to try another Tai Ch class and knocked when I got home this was exercise but will go back next week for more punishment.
Got home to receive Motorhome and car (not good planning) insurances due

So I have just spent the last couple of hours sorting out 
Was with C&CC but looks like CC pips it to the post 
Safeguard was to expensive 

Oh well there goes my money's but it is a good cause 
Good job I hadn't gone out and spent it 
Most make a note on calendar for next year as I forgot all about when they were due

Morning all
 Lovely weekend forecast and nowhere planned as motorhome in garage till Friday   
Spent all day yesterday in the garden so that's enough of that !
Cloudier this morning as well - suppose I will have to do food shopping

Busy day ahead, off to Waldegraves in Essex in the morning, a fair run from here, must fill with water, diesel, get another gas bottle, last minute shopping etc.  Might even find time to give the old girl a good wash, motor home is dirty as well  .

Good morning Homers.
Just back from Dr's where Dr acclaimed took a sample of blood.  I don't mind getting older but don't like the Dr's appointments that come with age.
Supposed to be a hot sunny day here but high cloud at the moment. Thinking of going shopping this afternoon.

Just had message from garage - not good news - bearing broken up in gearbox - damaging an oil seal thus affecting clutch
Job works out cheaper as obviously the gearbox is already out but adds another chunk to an already hefty bill

Oh dear, sorry to hear that, plus the down time in this lovely weather.

Should we go busking together Pete you your gearbox and clutch,
Me 2 lots of insurance   
You can play it I will hum it

I have just been talking to someone who has a 2 year old motorhome very little mileage and may face an eleven thousand pound bill because the engine has hydrauliced on the engine oil and Fiat won't help.
Hope that makes you feel better Peter 

Maybe a bit of pressure from the motor home installer might get him somewhere.

Did suggest that but it's that large company near Newark. Told him his contract was with the dealer not Fix It Again Tomorrow.

I think I would be making a real big fuss about it in view of it's age/mileage, so much so that perhaps the dealer wouldn't like the adverse publicity, "unfit for purpose" springs to mind bearing in mind the amount of money invested in this type of vehicle.  No doubt he has investigated but what about the warranty, surely he must still be covered?
In a former life I was a workshop manager for many years and dealt with many manufacturers, often told by dealers that the claim is against, say, the engine manufacturer and not the machine maker.  NOT so, the claim is against the dealer, the dealers end of it is to claim against the manufacturer.
At the money you quoted it's worth going down the legal road, then see what the dealer has to say, pile on the pressure.

Morning all
Shall be digging deep into my wallet today !

Sitting in the garden have had my breakie now sat with a coffee
Doesn't the sun make a difference

Enjoy the day wherever you are

Oh tonight wedding reception

Lovely sunny day here.
Haven't got a boat so been messing about in motorhome  .  Shame it's still in the drive. Colin hasn't been very well but has a Dr's appointment Monday morning so depending what happens then determines whether I have a few days away next week.

Sorted out car and motorhome insurance and now feeling deflated
Going to a wedding reception later

Morning all
Nurse this morning to check my blood pressure, then off to help daughter in law who is moving soon and see granddaughter again -3 days in a row lol

Good morning Homers.
Sat at Dr's in the sun waiting for Colin. The practice has 10000 patients so wondering why the car park is so small. Still it is entertaining watching the standards of driving.

Morning all
Was awoken at 4.20am by thunderstorm and the too hot to get back to sleep

Sun cracking the flags here.
At last managed to get away in motorhome for a few days looking at the sea.

Just the policy Polly, but you should make copies of all your documents and leave with someone you trust then IF you lose any you have backups, I have 2 copies of everything, one I have hidden safely in the m/h so I can access them if needed/required and one set left with a family member.

Driving Licence
Motor Ins
Passports
Travel Ins
MOT's
Vehicle V5
Tel Nos for cancelling credit/debit cards

Its not such a big deal in the UK Polly as all these Docs can easily be checked or information obtained by the Officials, but its a different story when abroad proving quickly that you have such documents and they are legal and up to date.

Hia

Thanks Bob yes I usually carry the copies of and documents but wondered if I was just being over cautious 
As the powers that be ( big brother) seem  to have all our info on file

Good morning Homers
Poured down with rain all night here. But it was forecast - supposed to get better as the weekend approaches.

Hia


It's raining it's pouring
The old man is snoring etc etc 

Rain rain go away
Polly wants to go and play etc etc

Supposed to be dry on Saturday 

My lake is back in the garden

Of to Ti Ch in a moment. This is a different one they are serious
Later go and pick our Ethan up to stay over

Hia
Off to Abergele Wales on Saturday for the week with our Claire and Ethan and Tilly and our Izzy
Looks like we are going to have a wet week 
Should be fun
Let's hope we get the awning up inbetween the showers and down dry
Never mind fun in the sun we will have fun in the rain
And we will have the tvso no problem     

Good morning Homers.
At last it's stopped raining.  May go and get hair cut this afternoon if it stays fine.

Hia

Our Ethan stayed over last night due to it being my turn to kiddy sit
When talking about go to Aberjelly he asked what our itinerary was. I said pardon.
He said well you always plan our weeks 

Oh my
